[2016-09-11 19:54:34 CEST] hello heinz
[2016-09-11 19:55:25 CEST] hello dave
[2016-09-11 19:55:36 CEST] long time since we spoke
[2016-09-11 19:55:42 CEST] right.
[2016-09-11 19:55:54 CEST] summertime ;-)
[2016-09-11 19:55:55 CEST] how is voice synth gooing?
[2016-09-11 19:56:08 CEST] Yep, dry warm weather... nice
[2016-09-11 19:56:36 CEST] voice synth needs more improvement.
[2016-09-11 19:56:56 CEST] i want to to it novels.
[2016-09-11 19:57:03 CEST] can it say anything? In german?
[2016-09-11 19:57:08 CEST] to teach
[2016-09-11 19:57:26 CEST] novels? as in books?
[2016-09-11 19:57:42 CEST] yes, novels, poems and newspapers.
[2016-09-11 19:58:13 CEST] Good, I have been fixing an Amiga. Thats got text to voice built in
[2016-09-11 19:58:21 CEST] the problem is the german "r"
[2016-09-11 19:58:22 CEST] are you doing the same
[2016-09-11 19:58:46 CEST] whats that sound like?
[2016-09-11 19:59:09 CEST] hard to descibe literrally.
[2016-09-11 19:59:17 CEST] describe
[2016-09-11 19:59:25 CEST] as in herr heinz? or frau heins?
[2016-09-11 19:59:51 CEST] yes, and some other versions.
[2016-09-11 20:00:24 CEST] Can you reprogram? or do you need to combine whats there somehow?
[2016-09-11 20:00:31 CEST] rettich=raddish, but the "r" sounds different.
[2016-09-11 20:01:05 CEST] reprogramming is impossible.
[2016-09-11 20:01:32 CEST] there are about 60 phonems which have to be used.
[2016-09-11 20:02:01 CEST] i will send you an mp3 file next time.
[2016-09-11 20:02:16 CEST] \OK, look forward to hearing it.
[2016-09-11 20:02:41 CEST] what did you fix with amiga?
[2016-09-11 20:02:41 CEST] Are you using your module or the Currah one
[2016-09-11 20:03:22 CEST] I needed to convert a PC floppy to work on the Amiga. Basically cut a track and swap pins 2 and 34
[2016-09-11 20:03:24 CEST] not the currah - it is designed for english.
[2016-09-11 20:03:56 CEST] I also got a Gotek floppy emulator which reads amiga floppy images - so lots of disks on a USB drive
[2016-09-11 20:04:38 CEST] i never had an amiga or commodore.
[2016-09-11 20:04:55 CEST] amiga is 16 bits, isnt it?
[2016-09-11 20:05:07 CEST] Neither did I, so I bought that and Vic 20 and C64 before the prices went crazy
[2016-09-11 20:05:31 CEST] Yes 16 Bit data 24 bit address and 32 bit inside CPU
[2016-09-11 20:05:43 CEST] very fast.
[2016-09-11 20:06:06 CEST] The sound is very good, but it feels clunky. The Spectrum is a lot better than a lot of people thyonks
[2016-09-11 20:06:13 CEST] Not so fast
[2016-09-11 20:06:43 CEST] Bigger programs, more colour so the faster CPU is throttled moving data
[2016-09-11 20:06:58 CEST] About the speed of a 286 PC
[2016-09-11 20:07:36 CEST] Spectrums small programs run nicer than a lot of Amiga/ST games
[2016-09-11 20:08:10 CEST] i didnt had time to try your calendar pgm.
[2016-09-11 20:08:20 CEST] in forth.
[2016-09-11 20:08:42 CEST] No problem, its just practice getting complex formula in Forth notation
[2016-09-11 20:08:54 CEST] cause we will go tomorrow morning to spain for one week.
[2016-09-11 20:09:26 CEST] Nice, have a good time. Where in Spain?
[2016-09-11 20:09:55 CEST] visiting gibralttar as long it is still british. ))-)
[2016-09-11 20:10:22 CEST] we will live close to malaga.
[2016-09-11 20:10:33 CEST] Im sorry to say, you may be disappointed.
[2016-09-11 20:10:48 CEST] I've been to Malaga passing on to Nerja
[2016-09-11 20:11:13 CEST] we have been in gibr 6 years ago, but it was very foggy.
[2016-09-11 20:11:37 CEST] 6 years ago weve been in nerja too.
[2016-09-11 20:11:41 CEST] So was I, did you go see the apes?

[2016-09-11 20:13:25 CEST] Theres supposed to be a tunnel or cave system from there to Africa. They say thats how the apes came acrosss
[2016-09-11 20:13:44 CEST] funny.
[2016-09-11 20:14:00 CEST] No, thats what they told us
[2016-09-11 20:14:45 CEST] If you have a good camera you can take pics of Afdrica and blow up the image to see houses, boats and vehicles there
[2016-09-11 20:15:15 CEST] Did you visit the caves at Nerja
[2016-09-11 20:15:20 CEST] distance is 40km.
[2016-09-11 20:15:44 CEST] ( didnt see the caves.
[2016-09-11 20:15:52 CEST] what kind of?
[2016-09-11 20:16:17 CEST] flowstone?
[2016-09-11 20:16:40 CEST] They were discovered recently, they have lots of stalctites and stalagmites, There was traces of Neanderthan man
[2016-09-11 20:16:59 CEST] They also have a large concert hall in there
[2016-09-11 20:17:02 CEST] do you have been in?
[2016-09-11 20:17:19 CEST] Gibraltar has the same but the caves there are wet
[2016-09-11 20:17:29 CEST] Yes twice at both Gib and Nerja
[2016-09-11 20:17:49 CEST] good hint for me. thanks.
[2016-09-11 20:18:22 CEST] Also see if you can visit the tunnels they dug in Gibraltar during the war
[2016-09-11 20:18:42 CEST] And the Moorish fort and the cable car
[2016-09-11 20:19:05 CEST] But dont take more than your allowance of cigs and spirits over spanish border
[2016-09-11 20:19:20 CEST] wait, wait. mainly we are going there for the beach.
[2016-09-11 20:19:21 CEST] Spanish will arrest you if they catch you
[2016-09-11 20:19:43 CEST] Well if its raining there is some hints
[2016-09-11 20:19:58 CEST] oh, yes.
[2016-09-11 20:20:17 CEST] The town next to Gib was a dump first time, second it has been improved a lot
[2016-09-11 20:21:03 CEST] we had o pass this town, it was not very impressive.
[2016-09-11 20:21:23 CEST] do you have been in granada?
[2016-09-11 20:21:24 CEST] Like the wild west cowboy town

[2016-09-11 20:26:30 CEST] I'd like to go on safari in a landrover, but I think a lot of the places can be dangerous now
